He Who Gaffes Last: Our Fave Art Goof O' the Day

We begin today with the ol' "TRAIL WATCH" because today's "Mark Trail" is more staggeringly eye-catching than usual -- no small feat, that.

'Riffs refers not to the Central Casting Nimrod Villain, or to Naive Polka-Dot 'Kerchief Boy (aka Zac Efron's Gap-Toothed Stunt Double). Nay, we draw your attention to Rusty's missing right arm in the final panel. Sure, his right hand is on the camera, but beyond that: There's no there there. (Perhaps a Token Ginormous Foreground Rodent ripped it off. Just sayin'.)

As mere days to go till the strip is disappeared from the Post print funnies (we hope only temporarily), 'Riffs continues our Official "Judge Parker" Vigil with today's strip. Granted, the high-school storyline might not be the most engaging, but we're confident this will get exciting real-real soon. Stay tuned...

Speaking of goodbyes: We can't help but read today's "Pooch Cafe" as if Poncho is trying to ply our alleged loyalty in a last-ditch effort. Sorry, Poncho -- apparently too late to come out of the closet now.
